Igloolik 2013

Igloolik is located on a small island in Foxe Basin, just off Melville Peninsula on the mainland of Nunavut.

Although Igloolik is part of the Qikiqtani or Baffin region, there exists a mix of Inuit cultural traditions from each of the three regions.

Igloolik is a community that balances modern living with a traditional way of life. This balance is illustrated by Isuma Production’s Atanarjuat, the award winning movie based on traditional legend.

Getting There: First Air operates flights from Iqaluit to Igloolik on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday with stops in Hall Beach. Canadian North operates flights from Iqaluit to Igloolik on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with stops in Hall Beach and Pond Inlet.
